Could You Be Doing More to Care For Your Smile?

8/26/2016

We hear the term anti-aging a lot these days. We hear it in terms of beauty products and how we can look younger and reverse the signs of aging. Do you know that there are more than just wrinkles and finding grey hairs that can age use? Our dental health is also a factor that we need to consider. How our teeth look can certainly age us, which I don’t think many of us do think about. 

So how can we make sure that we are taking care of our smile?

the Basics

It might sound simple, but we do need to make sure that we are brushing our teeth at least twice a day. We should floss in between our teeth regularly, as well as use a mouthwash. I think we would be all surprised to find out how many people don’t do these basic things on a regular basis. As we brush regularly, it helps to fight the bacteria that is in our mouth and on our gums. Then we can destroy plaque and keep our teeth strong. As teeth age, they can become dry and brittle. That means they are much more likely to chip and crack. But having a good oral health routine will avoid that and reduce the chances of your teeth drying out.

Avoid Certain Foods and Substances

Regular Checkups

Another basic thing that we need to do is to see our dentist regularly. Even if you don’t think that you have anything wrong with your teeth, it is important to be seen. It is much easier to deal with problems as they arise, rather than have to deal with larger problems. Every six months to a year is recommended but ask your dentist specifically.

Toothbrush

If you want your teeth to keep looking bright, shiny and white, then there are some things that you should avoid. First of all, think about stopping smoking. Cigarette smoke can age your teeth massively. It can yellow your teeth, as well as making the saliva in your mouth less effective against the acid in your mouth. So it needs to be avoided at all costs. Other things to avoid are things that can stain your teeth. Red wine is one of those things. Our teeth are quite porous and do absorb what we consume. This is especially true if our teeth and enamel on them are weak. Think what spilling red wine will do to a white carpet. It will pretty much do the same to your teeth. If you are looking to whiten your teeth, then there are options for you. It will help to make your smile sparkle again. If you’re interested, then I suggest reading this article to learn a little more.
The best toothbrush to get is one with soft bristles. The jury is still out as to whether electric toothbrushes are best or not. If you get a little bit lazy with brushing your teeth, then an electric toothbrush might be the best idea. Be sure to use toothpaste with fluoride too.
